Over the past 5 months, our dogs have used their daycare, training, grooming, and boarding services — all in one location, which is incredibly convenient. The staff are fantastic: professional, responsive to feedback, and they’ve genuinely gotten to know our dogs by name and personality.
Compared to everywhere else we’ve been over two decades, Central Bark Durham is better than most and on par with the very best. We’ve already sent several friends their way and will keep recommending them without hesitation.
Now, she goes twice a week, and she literally gets so excited when we pull up in the morning, it’s the best feeling knowing she loves being there. The staff are incredibly attentive and clearly care so much about the dogs.
One thing we especially appreciate is their communication. They send thoughtful text updates with photos from her playtime, making it easy to stay connected throughout the day. Scheduling is also super convenient over text, and they’re always quick to answer any questions we have.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a daycare that truly cares about your pup!
I am floored that Slater came home with all her nails trimmed! WHAT? No drugs required? It has been a stressful experience for the past 5 years, but you are making all the difference. Slater comes home not just with perfectly trimmed nails but let’s talk about how wonderful she smells after her grooming session! We are so grateful for the care and attention that the whole team provides at Central Bark in Durham!! I don’t wanna know your magic tricks, I am bringing my Pittie back!!
You all are truly awesome, and we can’t recommend you enough! Thank you for treating Slater like family! 🐾💖
